True cutaneous chondromas are extremely rare. Previously they have reportedly been confused with soft tissue chondromas and cartilaginous developmental anomalies. Monophasic mixed tumor could potentially also be mistakenly diagnosed as a true cutaneous chondroma. We report a cutaneous mixed tumor with massive chondroid metaplasia that mimicked a true cutaneous chondroma. We also propose that cutaneous mixed tumor with chondroid metaplasia may better explain the presence of primary cartilaginous tumors in the skin and true cutaneous chondroma may not be a real entity.
真性皮肤软骨瘤极为罕见。此前据报道，它们曾与软组织软骨瘤及软骨发育异常相混淆。单相混合瘤也有可能被误诊为真性皮肤软骨瘤。我们报告了一例具有大量软骨样化生的皮肤混合瘤，其酷似真性皮肤软骨瘤。我们还提出，伴有软骨样化生的皮肤混合瘤可能更好地解释了皮肤原发性软骨肿瘤的存在，而真性皮肤软骨瘤可能并非一个真实的实体。
